Biztoso Launches India’s First Social Platform for Businesses
Bangalore, October 11, 2025 – Biztoso has officially launched as India’s first social media platform tailored for businesses, offering entrepreneurs a unique space to create profiles, showcase products, and network. The platform is now accessible on both Android and web, reports 24brussels.
Unlike traditional marketplaces and consumer-centered social applications, Biztoso specifically targets the needs of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in India. It features tools such as Virtual Storefronts, Messenger, Multi-Lingual Support, and Lead Generation functionalities, aiming to empower India’s 63 million SMEs with a comprehensive digital presence.
“While marketplaces focus on sales and social apps on engagement, Biztoso combines both—visibility and conversion—in a single experience,” said Venkatesh Irkal, Founder and CEO of Biztoso. The origin story of Irkal, who transitioned from assisting in his father’s wholesale kirana shop to developing this platform, exemplifies the entrepreneurial spirit thriving in India. His vision crystallized in 2023 when he recognized the digital invisibility of many SMEs, leading to the creation of Biztoso.
The platform was launched after two years of development, with a goal to bring every Indian business online. “Our mission is simple,” Irkal added. “We want to give every Indian business—no matter how small—a chance to be seen, heard, and connected. Biztoso is built to help business owners who were once invisible online find their space in the digital economy.”
With over 63 million SMEs contributing nearly 30% to India’s GDP and employing over 110 million individuals, less than 20% maintain a consistent online presence, a gap that Biztoso seeks to address. The platform intends to serve as the primary digital ecosystem for SMEs, where businesses can create authentic profiles, engage with customers, collaborate, and discover new opportunities.
Biztoso’s core user groups include:
- SMEs & Manufacturers: Showcase products and connect directly with verified buyers, cutting out reliance on agents.
- Retailers & Wholesalers: Build visibility and connect with nearby buyers or suppliers through an easy-to-use store format.
- Service Providers: Create verified profiles to attract direct inquiries from local customers.
- Resellers & Small Online Sellers: Sell directly to consumers without commissions, promoting products via social sharing.
- Wanna-be Business Owners: Establish an online presence with a free store setup in minutes.
Since its pre-launch, Biztoso has garnered significant traction, with over 1,500 sellers on the waitlist and 50 stores created during its internal beta. The initial launch focuses on Bengaluru and Mumbai, offering services in Hindi, Kannada, and English, with an ambitious goal to onboard 100,000 small businesses within the next 12 months.
Biztoso envisions linking entrepreneurs across India—from major urban centers to smaller towns—on a unified platform that aims to build reputation and growth for millions of SMEs. The platform is live now, urging Indian businesses to create their profiles and enhance their digital footprint.
